Mermelstein Heads-Up

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

After busting Anthony Zinno, Aaron Mermelstein is heads-up with Alan Cramer.

There was some confusion as to where the button should be to start heads-up so the floor was called. Because Mermelstein was the big blind the previous hand, he could not be it twice, so he was given the button.

Racener Bombs the River and More Winners

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante
John Racener
John Racener

John Racener and Kevin Eyster were heads-up. The board read {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{a-Hearts} and Racener led for 45,000 — more than enough to put Eyster all in. Eyster thought for a moment, then called. Racener turned over a full house with {k-}{j-} to win the hand and the table.

Joseph Kohls and Kelly Kellner also advanced to Day 2 by winning their tables.

Adam Owen and Nicholas Palma Pulling Away

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante
Andre Akkari
Andre Akkari

One of the tables with four players remaining is Adam Owen's table. Owen has a slight lead over Nicholas Palma. Owen cashed ten times in last year's WSOP and would be off to a good start this year with a cash in Event #3.

Palma has 35 WSOP cashes and has yet to win a bracelet. He would add today's prize money to his $200,000 in WSOP tournament earnings.

Andre Akkari won a $1,500 No Limit Hold'em event at the 2011 WSOP, but as the short stack will need to do some work to win his table.

Scott Eskenazi has 16 WSOP cashes for a little over $100,000. He would be seeking his first WSOP bracelet.
